FGL Customer Support Services

Sample Collection

FGL has developed a computerized sample scheduling system for repetitive analyses such as those required for drinking water, wastewater and groundwater monitoring. With information supplied by you we can provide preprinted chains of custody and labels together with the necessary containers to make sampling efficient. All supplies can be shipped in advance (usually at the end of the previous month) for weekly, biweekly, monthly, quarterly, semi- annual and annual sampling events. There is no fee for this added service but shipping charges will apply.
